Chinese scientists grow cheap artificial meat for the first time

The result of the experiment is yet to be peer-reviewed, as this is the first case of test-tube MEAT production in the history of Chinese science. African swine fever.

According to Chinese media, for the first time, specialists from the Nanjing Agricultural University managed to obtain a "harvest of natural meat" by artificial means.

Commenting on their achievements, experts categorically say that one should not be afraid and confuse plant-derived meat with an artificial meat product directly.

In this case, vegetable meat is a product created, albeit in a test tube, but obtained from stem cells of animal tissues and is 100% meat.

Despite the fact that it is grown artificially, it is impossible to distinguish it from the real one either by color, or by smell, or by structure.

While the artificial meat product is based on vegetable proteins from soybeans, peas, wheat and other grains.

Commenting on the success of the experiment, scientists say that at the moment they do not promise to provide the entire market with lab-grown meat.

Only after the samples have received a safety assessment from the relevant authorities, scientists will be ready to develop a scheme for large-scale production of such products.

Mainly, according to the developers, it is necessary to resolve issues related to the danger of such products for human HEALTH.

Meat will be subject to special control for the risk of oncology.

Already, many supporters of this concept note that such meat does not harm the environment and animals.

At present, artificial meat can be found on the Chinese market, but it is based on plant products.

For example, a pack of Jinzi Ham vegan beef on Tmall is $8.60 per 220 grams, four times the price of real beef.
